Thought of a Countess

By Amnelithtirsol

Yet can I not persuade me you are dead
Or that your corse corrupts in earth's dark womb,
Or that your beauties lie in a wormy bed,
Hid from the world in a low-delved tomb;
Could heaven for pity you so strictly doom?
O no! for something in thy face did shine
Above mortality that showed you are divine.
